Moving this to the stoker, boiler furnace forum for better exposure.

Do a search for Koker, there are several owners of this furnace here, and as far as I know everyone likes them.. I took a tour of the Keystoker factory a few months back, and I saw these being built.. they are quite heavy duty, I think with normal maintenance they should last decades.

I have a keystoker A120, from what I hear they are similar in function, except the koker is not insulated so it gives off radiant heat to the room it is in. For me, the warm air furnace made more sense since I don't need to heat the basement. The koker has a huge hopper on it, and I think everyone here who has one likes it.
